Seattle, WA

Witness the fusion of hollow sidewalks, hints of historic trolleys, and a modern streetcar, all in Pioneer Square—Seattle’s original neighborhood. See recent interventions that integrate new with old, including reimagined alleys and a new bike rack designed specifically for the neighborhood. Learn how Seattle’s newest streetcar seamlessly integrates into a neighborhood previously served by a historic trolley. Observe the challenges of ensuring a fully accessible community when nearly all of its sidewalks are hollow. After the tour, return with the group via light rail, or stay for shopping, refreshments, and entertainment.
